Tracking Wild Elephants: Entering the Heart of Vietnam's Elephant Country | Part 1 | SLICE

Issan, Mavé, and Majung have been tracking a young wild elephant for several days. After a week in the forest, they approach the Cambodian border. Crossing the Ho Chi Minh trail, they finally enter the heart of elephant country. At dawn, they set out again. The tracks are fresh, and they are closing in on the herd.

The hunt is long and arduous. The men spend entire days on the backs of their elephants, searching for wild herds across an immense territory. Navigating through a labyrinth of sharp, intertwined bamboo, they know wild elephants take refuge here during the day to hide and protect themselves from the sun. It is in these dense thickets that the hunters must seek them out.
